QSE cites PQC deadlines in Malaysia partnership with Pos Digicert
A PR Newswire-distributed commentary says governments and standards bodies are setting post-quantum cryptography timelines, while Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. announced a partnership with Pos Digicert in Malaysia.
A PR Newswire-distributed commentary says governments and standards bodies are setting deadlines for post-quantum cryptography migration, and it points to a partnership between Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. and Pos Digicert in Malaysia.
The commentary says public-key cryptography underpins banking, identity systems, communications and state secrets, and that quantum computing could eventually break the tools now in use. It says the current challenge is logistical: finding where cryptography is used, assessing exposure, prioritizing risks and mapping a path to quantum-safe systems.
Context and background
The commentary says standards bodies have finalized quantum-resistant algorithms and that national agencies have set migration timelines. It describes the shift as one from research to procurement, with organizations now being pressed to plan for post-quantum cryptography, often shortened to PQC.
The article names several companies as active in the field, including Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike Holdings, IBM and SEALSQ Corp., alongside Quantum Secure Encryption Corp., which it describes as a post-quantum cybersecurity company focused on quantum-resilient data protection, identity security, secure storage and cryptographic migration readiness.
According to the piece, QSE recently announced a strategic partnership with Pos Digicert Sdn. Bhd. to help Malaysian organizations assess, understand and strengthen readiness for the transition to PQC.
What officials said
The commentary quotes QSE Chief Executive Officer Ted Carefoot as saying, “PQC readiness is becoming a shared responsibility between technology, governance and trusted local ecosystems.” It says he added that the partnership combines QSE’s quantum-readiness technology with Pos Digicert’s Malaysian market knowledge, digital trust capabilities, professional expertise and local infrastructure.
It also quotes Pos Digicert Chief Operating Officer Amir Suhaimi Hassan, who said readiness is about understanding where cryptography exists today and managing the transition systematically without compromising trust or operational continuity.
What happens next
The commentary does not describe a regulatory filing or a government directive of its own. It presents the partnership as part of a broader industry push to prepare for PQC migration as standards and agency timelines continue to shape planning.
